I'll be at #MagicConAtlanta later this month - Booth 11099! I've finally painted enough MtG cards to showcase at my first ever MagicCon. Stop by for signatures and prints, or listen to me babble about my 1993 Dingus Egg/ land-destroying deck from Alpha that annoyed all the kids in the neighborhood.
